Message tress Ike President.
We publish below, the message presented to
Congress by President Polk, on Monday, 4th that.,
communicating to that body the despatches and
other documents received from our Minister at Pa.
ris, giTing official information of the French Revo
lution, and of recognition of the French Republic
by 'Mr. Rush:—
. To the senate and Ilefiese,f Repeesentin'ires of the
United States coMmuiticate to Congress, for
their informatio 4,e6py of a despatch, with the
'om " curueuts, leceivel at the Depart
menrof mate, ir,.n.) the envoy extraordinary and utt-
Disler plentpotentiary of the Coned States at Paris,
ell: me: edictal intormatton of the overthrow of the
French monarch}•, and the establishment in its stead
of a... provi,lobal government, based on republican
pnnciple,."
This great event occurred suddenly, and was ac
complished almost without bloodshed. The world
has ,eld,rn witnessed a more interesting or sublime
spectacle than the peaceful rising of the French
people, teso!ved to secure for thetnsels es enlarged
liberty, and to assert, in the majesty of their streng•h,
the great truth, th'it in this enlrghtened age, man is
capable of governing him,elf.
Tffe prompt recognition of the new government,
by. the representative of the United States at the
Fi.ench court, meets my, full and unqualified appro
bation ; and, he has been authorized, in a" suitable
manner, to make known this fact to the constituted
authorities of the French republic.
Called to act upon a sudden emergency, which
could not haze been anticipated by his instructions ;
he judged rightly of the feelings and"senttments of
his governments and of his countrymen, it-hen, to
advance of the diplomatic representatves of other
countries, he was the first to recognize, so far as it
was in his power, the free government established
by the French people.
The policy of the United States has ever been
that of non-intervention in the domestic affairs of,
other countries, leaving to each to establish the form
of government of its own choice.
While this wise policy will be maintained toward
'Trance, now suddenly transformed from a monar
chy into a republic, all oursympathiesare natural
ly enlisted on the side of a great people who,imitat
ing our example, have resolved to be free. That
, such sympathy should exist on the part of the peo
ple of the United States with the friends of free go
vernment in every parlor the world, and especially
in Frince, is not remarkable. We can never for
get that Fiance was our early friends in our event
ful revolution u and generously aided us in shaking
off a foreign tbke , ai,d becoming a free and inde
pendent people.
We have enjoyed the blessings of our system of
well-regulated government for near three fourths of
a century, and ran properly appreciate its value.—
Our ardent and sincere congratulations are extended
to the patriotic people of * France, upon their noble,
and thus far successful, efforts to found for their
future,govcettment liberal institutions,.similar to our
own.
it is not doubled that, under the benign influence
of tree institutions, the enlightened statesmen of re.
p.thltean France will find it to be for her true interest
and permanent glory to cultivate with the United
states the most liberal principles of international
intercourse and commercial reciprocity,. whereby the
happiness and prosperity of both nation will be pro- -

plo. Al least the whale Democratic party are united
on this prlx)sitiod. All needful rules and iegulations
respecting this territory must he made by Congress.
Then the question arises and must be met :—.Shall
Slavery-be admitted there? Democrats should not
hesitate, and. with a few exceptions do not hesi
tate to answer this question with a decided nn. -
But there is the same objection urged now that is
always hrotejlit against against taking a decided
stand upon true principles. The timid are afraid
it will, " distract the piny.'' «' ,at is the Demo
cratic party? What gives it life ? Its principles,
nothing, else. These principles teach us the. very
first and fundamental truth that Slavery is a curse,
alike to the master and slave. Its existence is a
blot upon human nature. a stain cpon national char
acter. Shall we then as democrats, as patriots, con
sent to extend this institution over many of the most
fruitful portions of the continent ? Can democrats
aid in extending slavery 1 No, they would be nn
longer democrats, We know what is right. Let us
not refuse to do it.
The samerry is heard now that was raised! two
years you will distract the party." But
democrats then boldy declared their true principles
and the party were never more united. Our own
and the experience of other maims. has tautht us
that harmony depends solely upon the purity of our
principles, when they are ri:ht all is well
Let the whig party avoid this question. Let them
fly to the old federal doctrine of no more territory,
but let not democrats imitate whis ,, ery. Our refuge
shall be a reliance upon the truth. They dare not
meet a plain question. Let us, like democrats, like
men, take the side of Freedom, and inscribe upon
our irmner, Free Soil, Free Trude, Free Currency,
Free Speech, and Free Labor.

Mr. Fitzgibbon. an Irishman, for many years re
sident in New York. has been itripTisoneit by the
British authorities at Belize, for_ commenting too
freely upon their outrageous policy in that quarter.
He edited the Gazette. The Revolution eimimene
eti in Guatemala last October, was-still spreaditm
and the rebels, who numbered IMO, on the 4th of
February had gained some victories in the open
field. in Jalapa the - Corregidor Figuerra and 30
others were killed. The road from Guatemala to
Yzabal was intpassable ; labor on the sugar estates
was suspended, and martial law proclaimed. The
revolutionists at Santa Cruz had repulsed the go.
veniment troops, and were about to attack Sala
manca- which was being fortified. Nothing farther

been found guilty and sentenced to be hanged, one

been fixed for an earlier day, but that there is a

to give opportunity to the culprit to gatfier evidence
to prove his innocence ) in case of his wrongful con

EN PORTING Inoic—The statement, pow running
through the papers that railway iron than been ex.
ported lrom this country to England, has no doubt
excited surprise. We are informed that the expla.
nation of it is this :—The rails sent toEngland %Yen. ,
some English tail:sof an inferior quakily, which had
been lying in New Yoik for sale, for some-time,
without finding a pnrchasey '
The fart is now well qtablibed;
ire believe,
that American rails are better than F.nalish. The
New Jersey Railroad Contaity, a few weeks ago,
made a contract to pumhit, 1000 tons of the Tien.
ton Iron Company, at 801 #den, - which was 8 or $9
above the price of EnglisWmils. The New Jersey
Railroad Company had trill both English rails and
those made at Trenton, and, preferred to buy the
latter at this difference of irice.
Since this contract WA•4 made, the price has ri
sen in Englanti•and the United States. We pre
suine-they could not be bought rtow of the Tren
ton Iron Company at s6l.—Tretiton (N. Slate
